Probably back to IS. Keep in mind they did a pretty substantial IS run what with all the reseens, so it is all fair play. I'd like to see some IS light and mediums, next, as well as a Clan light and medium intermixed with the IS set. So one IS, one Clan, one IS, one Clan, etc.

Well we have had 6 IS mechs as solo packs and 5 Clan so id like to see another Clan, maybe a 2nd line mech like the Grizzly.

Grizzly (Clan's Cataphract?) is a must, but has only 1 variant in our current timeline. Actually, there is only 1 other variant (with level 3 weapons) - PGI will need to make at least 3 new variants (and the hero).

Be cool if they did a free born warrior hero with the Grizzly or IIC's.

Also Mad Dog Ghost Bear hero is a must!

I know who he is! Question is though, would it be a Wolf Mech then or Ghost Bear at this point? :P

F*** the Wolves, bunch of cowards, that couldn't get the job done against the not named Clan.

Despite that, it does offer three completely different builds, that are rather punchy...

Does anyone else here want the Great Wyrm to make it in? You know, this guy.

EDIT: Yes, I'm well aware the GAA-22 Rapid Fire Cannons don't exist in MWO. Replace them with a duo on UAC 2s. They change the weapons on the Hunchbakk IIC's variants when they added him in.

I'd be fine with it.
And replacing the HAG would not be a big deal, IMO.

Bigger issue is that they seem to want mechs with 6 or so variants, this one only has 2 lore ones and a hero, , so if the Wyrm 2 also has to be made up..that's 4 made up versions which seems excessive.

GAA-22's are just the model name for the pair of Clan UAC/2's the Great Wyrm carries. And yes, it's rather limited in variant choices.

Grizzly will need good quirks to be viable..or hardpoint inflation. 1B 1M 3E is sort of meh...

Being a battlemech, Hardpoint inflation is very likely. And could it really be worse than the Summoner? At least it can alter it's core components.

I'd actually expect 2B/2M/3E at the least for the Grizzly, especially since the -2 would end up something like 1B/1M/7E at least.
